Restaurants in Grand Forks

“Phenomenal. Phenomenal service. Phenomenal food. Phenomenal drinks. Phenomenal atmosphere. Overall experience was, you guessed it, phenomenal. I’d go there every night if I could!”

“Best Mexican food I've ever had! Great atmosphere and stellar service! I'd give 10 stars if I could!”

“I love the sushi from here!!! The only down side is that they are closed sometimes when it says they are open. I have tried to go there the last 2 times I was in Grand forks and they have been closed when they say they are open online. It may have something to do with staff but I hope this improves so we don't keep experiencing this issue.”

“Fun, atmosphere and delicious food and awesome array of cocktails. Will definitely return whenever I’m in Grand Forks.”

“Love this place. I know most people go for the crepes, rolled ice cream, and boba, but they also have some yummy hot food items as well. I always get the hulk rolled iced cream with strawberries, bananas, and condensed milk, so good! The crepes are great too! Just too big for me to finish and then I feel wasteful so I don’t get them anymore. I wish they had a smaller size option for the crepes.”

“An adult playground. Lots of fun activities for adult groups to do for people 21 to 121. Friendly staff as well.”

“Superior brews, super personable service, kid-friendly, and the atmosphere is laid back. It was a great place to relax after a long day of robotics competition at UND. Thank you Half Brothers for being the only brewery in Grand Forks and doing it exceptionally well.”

“FANTASTIC SERVICE AND FOOD! Great hors d'oeuvres and entrées. Their lavosh is absolutely phenomenal. One of their bartenders, Kraig, made me the best Caeser I've ever had. Highly recommend!”

We were staying at the hotel across the street and my granddaughter just loves their caramel mocha cold press with whipped cream.

So good, we went there every morning that we were in Grand Forks!”

“Ragin' Cajun burger with Cajun Fries!”

“I've spent the last 7 years working outside the US. There is no other place in Grand Forks that tastes like home quite like Red Pepper.
If you want to understand small town comfort food and hospitality, a staple of college life, or just enjoy good food at a great price, this is the spot.”

“fast, delish and filling. super friendly staff. highly recommended”

“hands down best customer service”

“Great people working at Scooters.”

“Our chicken shrimp carbonara and fettuccine Alfredo with steak were top notch. The salad was crispy and fresh and the neat thing was, our sweet waitress brought ranch and Italian dressings, both on the side so we could add the amount we wanted to
Our salads. We have never been offered that at an Olive Garden before.

Kid-friendliness: 👍🏾

Wheelchair accessibility: 👍🏾ample room, ground level”

“I never had the Blueberry Cream Cheese Croissant before, and it’s fantastic! Very pleased to find fresh baked goods!

Dietary restrictions: I’m lactose-intolerant, so I always love my iced matcha vanilla tea latte with almond milk! Obviously the blueberry cream cheese croissant has cream cheese and butter, but it was delicious nonetheless, and I was able to handle the small amount of dairy.”

“Short staffed & service with a smile!! Much appreciated 😊!! And my pizza and wings were delicious 😋!”

“The food is absolutely delicious. The service, and friendliness of the sweet person at the counter. Best ever. 5 stars.”

“Best bagel ever! The garlic cream cheese is to dye for! The atmosphere, and of course the coffee are worth the stop, don't skip the bagel!!”

“We just about always order Deek's pizza when we crave a good pizza.The last few times are hit and miss on the usual Mighty Meat pizza, the good old flavor isn't what it used to be. Why does it change os much? One thing I notice is the amount of cheese and meat seems to have got lesser and I think that is the difference. When I pay 30.00 with tip for pizza I like to have an awesome pizza. If I want a lesser pizza I will go get a couple $6 pizzas. I think you need to step it up or charge less...service is great but taste and quality needs attention every time.”

“This is most definitely the best place to get a fast food burger in Grand forks!!! The food is absolutely amazing! Been going here for years and never a disappointment! The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the regular chicken fingers. Spicy ones are great, but the regular ones are not it. Friendly service as well!”

“Top notch! I love Pizza Ranch wherever I go. Grand Forks is the 189th location The Legendary Pizza Ranch Guest ever visited.”

“Papa Murphy's is the perfect pizza place for vegans. The pizza is great and has so many veggie options and even veggie cheese! Plus, we can cook it when we're ready, so it's always hot and perfect.”

“I enjoy Caribou Coffee. The waitresses and waiters are very pleasant. I wish the price was lower as compared to the size of the coffee cups. its a drive through facility. It's somewhat difficult driving through and leaving the drive through.”

“Great service, always friendly always smiling”

“It was the 1st time I had ever been there. Food was good and service was great. However, it’s not handicap accessible.”

“Without a doubt the very best salad I have ever eaten. Highly recommend.”

“Lovely lobby, always clean and well kept. Friendly baristas in a quiet location. Easy to get in and out of with parking and drinks are delicious. 😊 10/10 times I prefer caribou over Starbucks, the quality is much better and for a chain it’s nice to have something that started closer to home locally. Also the app is really convenient for pickups and nutrition facts! Thank you!”

“Haven’t had a bad tasting meal from this place. Not super budget friendly but also not overly expensive. Their meal combinations are interesting, healthy, and delicious. They do a really good job with portion sizes, which might be the most important thing if you are trying to eat healthy. Also nice that you can freeze the meals (or buy them frozen at a discount) and they heat up just about as well as the refrigerated ones.”

“Fun atmosphere and relaxing”

“service is A one and food is outstanding! Always very satisfied and servings are generous and fresh!”

“Some seriously delicious garbage and friendly service. Check out the omelette section. Personalized to ur junk food delight. I added broccoli cuz that's my jam. Asked abt the walleye for sourcing curiosity and will be back some day to check it out.”

“Everything about this place is wonderful. The atmosphere is great. The coffee is amazing. Highly recommend.”

“So GOOD!!! Hands down the best. I walked in and instantly thought I was in a restaurant in the Valley (Palmview, Tx) but no I'm still in ND ?. The Quessobiria is loaded and the best tasting ones I've had so far! The menudo almost tastes like my grandmas! The caldo de pollo is so delicious. AND they have my favorite jarritos flavor, guava? best Mexican restaurant in ND.”

“Always have a great time, bar maids n bartenders are awesome”

“The restaurant was packed but even still the food was quick and delicious. The soda tasted perfectly calibrated, not syrupy or watered down. Workers were super pleasant and engaging. Will definitely eat here again.”

“I love Denny's. They always double up, they recognized me, and they're always down to earth. A must visit on anyone's hole-in-the-wall list. It's not a dive bar it's a working class and retired working class local staple.”

To top it off, service is always great, and people are always friendly and courteous. This is a great local spot.”

“Always have a great time, bar maids n bartenders are awesome”

“Shout out to our local Marcos Pizza and our fave Lonnie Cummings! We had pizza for our Lenten meal last night and it was excellent. Hot, cooked to perfection and consistent to the last pizza. That’s not easy for 25 delivered at once. Thank you!!”

“Best anchovies pizza in town!”

“Food is really good and staff is very nice and accommodating.”

“5 year Loft vet that would not want to get black out wasted anywhere else in town. Plus a custom made playlist that is straight gas with no spongebob. Standard burg slaps, chef Carver should be on hells kitchen fr. Bartenders are my second family, really feels like home.

Wheelchair accessibility: They got a mf elevator”

“Great service and conversation. Didnt watch the tvs at all.”

“First-time customer today. Ordered a lamb gyro with a Mango Lassi (a mango and milk drink). Picked up order at around 3 pm. Came home, plans were to have this for my evening meal but one taste of the melt-in-your-mouth lamb slices, tasty pita and rice and oops just finished the whole thing. Absolutely delicious, very generous portions, friendly folks who took my order and at the pick-up window. The Mango Lassi is really yummy!!”

It's has been so convenient with ordering your order before hand & picking up or getting a delivery to your door with a friendly smile! Hands down recommend Shrink Tank with yummy drinks!”

“I have never had a bad drink from the board room! My go to stop for coffee when I am in town. The drive thru is a bit on the slower side compared to other coffee spots but worth it for the quality of drinks in my opinion!”

“Ok here's what I've found at the bar. I'm a talker and I love yakking with the worker's here. They don't push me away and they don't make me feel that I'm not wanted. So whenever I get to forks I'll always stop by and have a few drinks and talk with customers about have a good time.”

“Just order a pretzel and it's legit cooked. order from this place, worth your money. Even I can’t cook a better pretzel than them. I spent 5 dollars on a cooked pretzel. Place should be called cooked pretzel maker. I wish I could give them a six star but that's not an option.”

“Dairy Queen is always a classic for an ice cream treat! They have many different flavors along with food options. They usually have different "happy hour" specials throughout the year. This one includes Orange Julius!”

“I really like this place, strange thing is, not because of the drinks (rumored to be coming) or food. It has the e-tab machines of course, I'm no stranger to those. I like this place because of the people. They are real. The crowd that frequents this place is usually local. I feel comfortable here and that is what elevates this establishment.”

“Good price n friendly Associate nice to shop Reasonable price 👍👍👍”

“Only $5 for a 32oz draft not bad. People are nice and seems legit.”

“Quick service and it is so good. Little spendy, but you get what you pay for. I definitely recommend it. They let you have samples so you can decide what you want.”

“You have always done in amazing job at this store no matter if I come through the drive Thur or come inside. I have been coming to this location for many years I wrote most of my book back in 2019 right there at your location the peace that I would get whenever I came there and got my hot turtle mocha was amazing and your location got it right everything thanks for being great and helping me to get my Creative juices flowing by providing a peaceful environment and my Grandson use to love to have lunch with me right next door to your location Pa pizza I already gave them a review years ago and forgot to give you all a review thanks for being great and amazing you gave inspiration to start writing about my life story it all started right there and your Starbucks coffee shop. Just wanted you to know that and how grateful I am for all the pleasant people that work there. Bye for now.

Vegetarian options: The Lemon cake with that all white icing is my favorite especially if I can get it fresh with a total mocha. It’s like having all earth. Thank you again for all you do bye for now.”

“Great customer service. I've never had an order incorrect. The drive thru can be long and dangerous at busy times, with cars sitting out in the road and blocking traffic, but that's not really the restaurant's fault.”

“I'm asian, so asian food in the US is always pricey to me due to the fact that I can get it cheaper back at home. King pho is a lil pricey for me too, however, their portion is at least well worth the money. A big bowl filled to the brim of pho. Me and my boyfriend visit here often, they used to accept ONLY cash but they have improved and now they accept credit cards too. Staffs are friendly and attentive, definitely recommended for those who wanna try it out. ;)”

“My family and I came in about 20 minutes before closing and everything was still on point! Food was great, service was great, we didn't feel rushed at all. Great place!!! ??? The vegetarian options were kind of limited but they still had a vegetarian sandwich that my son did not complain about.”

“One of the best places to eat in Grand Forks. Cozy, warm, welcoming, great service.”

“Just as good as the original and lots of seating available during lunch. Red Pepper is the best!

Parking: I parked here with a large trailer and it was no problem.

Kid-friendliness: My kids love Red Pepper!”

“Ate breakfast there yesterday, 6/17/2024. The person working was very kind and enthusiastic. Our breakfast sandwiches were delicious and LOVE the new lavosh bread. Definitely recommend”

“Fun , very friendly staff ! 👍”

“My husband and I were there yesterday. We had not been there in years, but decided to try it now. We were pleasantly surprised by the food, service and price! We had so much food left over that we had to take it home and eat it today for lunch!!! We WILL be back soon, and will tell our friends!”

“Clean. Employees friendly.
Food was good. Although, becoming skimpy...onions sliced so thin you can see through....the Dave's single is good. We come once a week and order this sandwich...we notice the difference. Frys are good. It's winter...it cold...it is too cold inside. Uncomfortable to eat in the evening...but always clean. You must have good management...tables cleaned, employees not fooling around ....with so many young people working together its not easy to keep young people focused”

“You all are amazing and should get a tip all day everyday. I have seen you the mist of a rush giving your all and when it’s a down flow of customers I have been there to and see you still giving it your all being kind and nice to everyone and getting orders completed in the drive thru and in lobby was there yesterday and you where so nice to me and the girls as always. Everytime and anytime I show up with my 3 younger daughters or my 2 adult daughters from the time you have open each memory we have made their has been amazing thank you for all you do! And thank you for your kindness by the way the girls love the new orange cake pops and drinks were amazing as always. Thank you to everyone that works there you all Or amazing and great. I hope you all get a raise after this post it’s well deserve because you all go above and beyond. It was too many great names to place here and I can’t remember all the name tags but thank you for being great and making others days. Great and amazing which are friendly and caring attitude. We appreciate you all and bye for now.”

“They don't have taco sauce, he said just hot sauce and some other strange sauces but no actual taco sauce? Also hardly any meat on the taco burger...there's room for improvement here...the food tasted good but lack of meat and sauces was disappointing...service was good!”

“I saw this place while waiting for a stop sign. Today I tried it out oh my word not sure what I wanted. They asked me what were my favorite fruits. I said, pomegranate cranberries so they paired me with a pomegranate plunge and to shave the edge on the calories, you can use Splenda. You still have a nice tart taste of the cranberries and pomegranates just pop out and there were some some other fruits in there. These are the ones that I remember. But don’t take my word for it. Go try it yourself. When you arrive, you find this building resembling a beachfront juice it’s not very big will totally draw you in. You open the door when you feel like you have found the vacation in the middle of the city. The chairs are metal but painted beachside blue and the coral that just pops your imagination. I have beachside music that you may have heard flowing down the way these bright colors aremelting your stress away there’s tiling along the side. You truly have found an oasis to call your own but wait is that not beach sidewalk maybe a boardwalk perhaps again don’t take my word for go experience it yourself. Enjoy. I know I did.”

“food was amazing and hot staff was friendly and helpfull”

“This place is so amazing. These workers are so swag and awesome. They make my day every single time I order through the drive-thru and cannot hear a word they say. They always give me the right food, and this is my favorite restaurant in Grand forks. 10/10 would recommend.”
